Fine Motor Skills Development

Fine motor skills are the coordination of small muscle movements in such areas as the fingers and hands. These movements often operate in coordination with the eyes. Children who exhibit deficits with fine motor skills may have delays when learning to color, use scissors, write, fasten clothing, hold utensils, and to complete activities that require left to right task orientation. There are a number of fun and easy activities that you can engage a child in to target some of these issues.
